Writer, teacher, weirdo. Queer as hell. Chaotic good. May or may not have an army of ninja bears at my back. Aware of the fascism, but trying to post things worth fighting for. She/her. patreon.com/onbearfeet

Data suggests family dramas bear a less than 10 percent resemblance to actual human families, which is unsurprising and also a relief, considering all the murders.

Today I learned I have outlived Dennis Hastert and Jim Bakker, two right bastards who cast long shadows over my childhood in different ways. And the bears rejoice.

Evening boost. If you want to understand how an otherwise incomprehensible culture of sexual assault gets built from childhood on ... well, I did my best to explain it from an insider's perspective. Nothing bad happens to or around the bear. The bear is our friend.

It's Monday! I wrote about Cornell, sex ed in the cult, and Terry Pratchett's definition of sin. This might be the most content warnings I've ever needed on an essay, so please take care when reading. I don't think I get super disturbing, but I'm a poor judge. www.patreon.com/onbearfeet/p...

Wrote 3800 words about Cornell, cult sex ed, Terry Pratchett, and a song I ... "like" is a tricky word, so let's go with "have listened to a lot". Anyway, now I have to draw a grizzly bear in a witch hat because there are very few sfw illustration options that won't retroactively traumatize folks.

Vintage-style Gothic artwork featuring a woman in a long white nightgown fleeing past a gnarled, leafless tree under a dark, dramatic sky. White serif text centered at the top of the image reads: "Ask your doctor if running screaming into the savage night might be right for you." A small copyright watermark reading "©ephemera.com" is visible in the bottom right corner.

Goo morning, monsters. She’s such a good dog. You can already see eager ears in the window. Maybe she’s been there the whole time. A flip of the lock, inside, and her muzzle is immediately angled down at your face, snuffling, sniffing, asking what did you bring me? what did you bring me to eat?

Hmmm. My local IKEA does not have the Pallas cat or moon bear plush in stock on release day. Nearest one that does is in Carson. I am not driving to Carson on 2026 gas. Nor am I buying $35 of stuff to ship a plushie. I will bide my time. Come to me soon, little moon bear ...

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!
A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

Just finished this top for a baby quilt. I did not pick the color palette. (Sigh.)
A patchwork quilt top for a baby quilt. It's a bunch of fabrics in shades of very pale peach and very pale gray. I bumped up the saturation, and it still just kinda looks like a mass of beige vomit.

Goo morning, monsters. A dry twig startle snaps in the quiet. It’s not a mistake. It’s ‘I am here. Where are you?’ Run. Choose a direction and make some distance to close. If you stumble the scrapes won’t have long to hurt.
